About DE-. McGIynn.

INV York, May 21.-The pope has
answered Archbishop Oorrigan's letter in.
forming him Of the rebellious conduct Of
DR.. McGlynn. The pope commends Arch
bishop Corrigan's efforts to prevent the
false doctrines about the rights OF property
from spreading throughout the church,
not fail to make known to
you through the congregation Of the
propaganda a timely measure for the cor
rection of the rebellion"
Henry George was shown the pope's letter
and after he had read it said: "This is in
reply, no doubt, to a garbled statement
which Archbishop Corregan sent to the pope.
It does not decide the case at all.
for Pope Leo has not examined both sides
of the question. / think it does not amount
to much" During the reading of the letter
Mr.. George ridiculed number of the ex-
pressions, and said he felt sorry for the
archbishop, who thought he had been 30
badly used that he had to write whining let
tiers to the Holy See.

The Latest Plan.

CHICAGO, May PA secret circular pur-
porting to give the latest plan for the Or
ganization of the International Working
Peoples association, the revolutionary So
ciety to which the condemned anarchists be-
longed, is as follows: No group is to exceed
five in number. After the first five are Or
ganized let them select central organizer
and separate again, each individual starting
another group of his own, numbering five.
When group is reported full let the central
organizer inspect them and verify the fact.
By this system not more than six will come
together. The organizer alone becomes
familiar with tV enty-fve-similar twenty
fives can be established at various points.
The central organizers will constitute an
executive committee of five, as a limit,
which would give membership of 125. So
on and 80 on until the city is honeycombed
with groups into which detectives cannot
penetrate beyond certain limited length.
Later a systematic grouping of the different
cities will be brought about and thorough
correspondence secured.

FIGHTING STRIKERS.

A Mob of 500 Men Armed With Clubs
Attack Non-Union Men While at Work
P1rTsBURd, PA, May ga severe phase
in the Everson, Pa, coke strike was oe-
veloped this morning when mob OF SOO
men, marching around in body ana gen.
orally armed with bludgeons, suddenly ap-
peared in the coke yards at the Jimtown
works of Colonel Shoemaker. Wltnout
warning they made savage attack on q Ut
tie knot of men who were drawing out
coke from the ovens here. This coke has
been in the ovens since the strike COM
menced, and some eight or ten lsborers hso
been engaged to draw it out. While 30 en-
gagged the mob suddenly rushed in on them
and brutally attacked them. Sucn OF the
laborers as could not escape were cruelly
beaten, one man having both arms Droken
and being so badly kicked tnat ms me les -
5esDaired of. Six men altogether were
heotan verv severely. All the barroWs
and tools used in the works we're de-
Htroved. The mob having enectuailV
accomnlished their mission at Jimtown, the
riotera marched through Dawson and across
the Youghigoheny river to the WORKS OF
James Cochran i Sons. Mr. cochran
R0NE, ASSISTED DY bOLuo AOA-AAASA aAAS~A3 49,
watered out the ovens of this firm ana
drawn the coke from a few ovens and the
anger of the mob was directed against
them. Fortunately the hour was early ana
no one was yet working on Cochran's yards
at Nellie and Clarrissa, but the mob IN the
ebsence OF human victims, wreaksd their
vengeance upon the coke wagons and tools
at these works, destroying ell movable prop
erty that they could lay their hands on. The
riot was caused by an attempt on the part
of the operators to save the coke now In the
ovens. Thirty-five thousand tons OF coke,
worth $4,000, is being burned up.
A Pittsburg Chronicle special from Con
nellsville, Pa, says: The reports of the
lumber of injured are conflicting, as several
were quite seriously hurt at Cochran's
works. A son of the proprietor was shot at
a number or times but escaped injury. The
rioters are now gathered at Dawson, and
more serious trouble is feared. 1t was
learned this afternoon that some Of the
officials of the labor organization are to
blame for the visit this morning. 1t is said
that they advocated such movement on the
part of the strikers. This mornings visit is
likely to result in Wholesale arrests in which
the ring leaders will be especially ferreted
out.
